    Nora, the piano-playing cat

    Apparently this has been around UTube (YouTube??) for months, but I just learned of it today.

    Here is the link to Nora practicing the piano:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZ860P4iTaM

    Here is the link of Nora playing duets:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0zgQ...eature=related

    I think these are simply adorable! I hope you enjoy them, too. (And I think Nora looks SO much like my little Cassy-boy!
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)



    Thank you, Popcornbird for creating this tribute to Summer starring Livvy and Cassy

    I thought it was too cute for me to be the original poster, sigh.

    Ah well. Have you seen this sequel -- Nora calls a piano tuner?

    Nora, the piano playing cat

    Bravissimo Nora!!!!! I have seen these before on the news but these videos just get cuter every time I see them. It must be a tremendous help to Nora's career having Rennie as a live-in piano tuner, excellent job there, Rennie!

    By the way, has Nora released a CD yet? If so, it's going right on top of my Christmas wish list!

    I had seen Nora before but not her cute tuner
    Sometimes I think youtube is all crap and sometimes I think it is the best thing you can do in your spare time

    Oh my gosh I love this story and all of the videos. I am curious as to whether she does it because she likes the music or because she likes the feel of the keys moving. Cats are just so amazing!

    According to a newspaper article, Nora has been named Cat-of-the-Year by the ASPCA.

    An excerpt from the article quotes the ASPCA as saying when announcing the award, "Nora is a talented example of how shelter pets - far from being cast offs - often make the best animal companions."

    Nora, a 5 year old gray tabby was adopted by Betsy Alexander of Philadelphia
    from a shelter in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. This sweet kitty has appeared on tv programs and even inspired a composition by a Lithuanian conductor.

    Concatulations, Nora!
